Good morning Troy and the rest of you that are sleeping in. Time for more fall maintenance. Didn't quite get the mowing done last night. About 1/2 acre to go, then put the mower away for a while......I better get busy.

I've never used a shop for exhaust Chris. Maybe a good question for TCStangs.

There is a place in buffalo I may take it to in the spring. Otherwise there is a guy on tcs that was going to fix my h poor before I ordered the x pipe. I hate exhaust work. I may have to pull that car out today and take it for a spin and a wash.

Sparks around gas, could be exciting. LOL

Have a great Saturday MN

If the sand paper doesn't do the trick, I'll look at taking it out first. If i'm going to do that, I may as well replace it though. Oh well. Shed needs to get done first.

Still enjoying Arizona? It was supposed to be a lot nicer here today. It didn't even start clearing up until 6pm. Oh well. Tomorrow is supposed to be 70.
